adam3654 0 Report post Posted November 24, 2008 For the Smaller sizes, I would recommend thefishguy.net his prices are the same or better than togens, but I think the beads are of higher quality. I have ordered from both and it seems that the smaller togens beads tend to have an enlarged hole (I think its from when they are drilling, the countersinking goes right through to the other side), the larger sizes do not have this problem though. (not affiliated with either, just ordered from both and figured I'd chime in) Adam Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted November 24, 2008 There's a guy that hangs out on the flyfishingarkansasandmissouri web site that sells tungston beads in bulk at a very good price. I've bought from him myself. I can't recall his name but if you go to that web site and post an inquiry someone will remember him. Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave I got some tungston beads from a guy in Arkansas, they were so-so quality, the silver ones i got had tool marks, scratches etc. they still worked but could have been prettier. inexpensive though. thank you all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
